Naija people, una hear wetin INEC yarn? Dem don clear air say, no be true! Reports wey dey fly for social media, say dem don drop timetable for 2027 elections, na big lie o!
INEC come drop beta statement wey say dem never release any timetable or schedule for that 2027 General Election. Na real wah, as dem dey remind us say dem dey follow law wey dey guide their waka. Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022, talk am say dem go publish Notice of Election at least 360 days before election day. So, if you see any timetable wey no follow this arrangement, just know say na scammers dey run the matter.
Adedayo Oketola, wey be INEC CPS/Media Adviser, talk say any timetable wey you see wey no follow dis law no fit come from dem. E mean say e go better make we dey double check any gist wey dey circulate about elections.
Dem don promise everybody say, when baba INEC ready to drop the official timetable, dem go follow proper procedures. Na only true channels wey dem don verify go carry the news. So make we dey take eye shine, no fall for fake reports.
Dem also urge everybody – the public and media wey dey carry news – to forget the lies wey dey waka for street. Make we dey check INEC official platforms for correct information. No let anybody spoil your chai with wrong gist!
